Calatrava, all the way
Apr 11, 2018,22:25 PM
The Calatrava is timeless. 20-50 years from now it will still be perfect. And nothing represents PP more than a Calatrava.
If at a later point you are in a position, then get the aquanaut

Which one would fit the most a 30ish yo man?
By: Watch_kha_wen : April 9th, 2018-10:39
Hesitating between the 2... Really like the Slim and calibre of the 5120 Like the shape and sport look of the aquanaut... Any advise ? Also my wrist is a 16 cm...so fairly tiny! ...
Calatrava
By: xxn : April 9th, 2018-10:53
1. Iconic 2. Caliber 240, if its good enough on WT's, PC's etc. it says something....
Hi thanks a lot
By: Watch_kha_wen : April 9th, 2018-13:40
What does WT and PC mean?
I,

at 33 would choose the Aquanaut. Cheers, Filip
Why?? [nt]

What are you intending to wear your PP with?
By: vitalsigns : April 9th, 2018-11:38
A suit, then definitely the 5120 Casual wear, then definitely the Aquanaut A mix of dress and casual--neither is ideal, but I'd have to vote for the Aquanaut as the 5120 is too dressy for casual wear IMO. Cheers, John
As other have said, two totally different watches
By: w220 : April 9th, 2018-12:09
The 5167 may be the sportiest Patek you can buy, while the 5120 may be the dressiest Patek you can buy. They are not really comparable. One way to solve the problem is of course to get both Here are some pics of mine. Sorry for the terrible quality of the...
My vote goes to the Aquanaut
By: 1WatchMan : April 9th, 2018-13:06
But as others said, two totally different watches. I would need some context information to make a case: at least intended use and current collection info. Enjoy the decision making process, and let us know the final result please š
that's how the aquanaut looks like
By: Watch_kha_wen : April 9th, 2018-13:54
and also a calatrava 37 that was too big for me due to the lugs... that's why I was thinking about a 35mm There is no specific context but i wear suit everyday and I wanted to have a very classic and simple watch... was actualy thinking about getting the ...
thanks for your reply
By: Watch_kha_wen : April 10th, 2018-23:26
indeed i was myself surprised by how it actually was not looking that "big" on my wrist when I tried the aquanaut... I never had in mind to try it thinking it's gonna be way too big anyway. The 6000g is too big due to the lugs... really a shame as I litte...
aquanaut no doubt..
By: christianch : April 9th, 2018-13:23
Calatrava woo serious would make you look older !
If you can get both , get both.
By: geross : April 9th, 2018-14:55
I kinda like the 5120 but it has no seconds hand so to me its odd. Doesn't show the watch is alive. Whereas the 5167a has a seconds hand and is very comfortable on the wrist. But the 5120 is definitely a dress watch. Just prioritize. Get the 5120 first th...
There is also another alternative
By: w220 : April 9th, 2018-15:10
There is also another alternative, in the form of the Aquanaut reference 5165. The 5165 is 38mm, vs 40mm in the 5167. The 5165 is however rather rare and may be difficult to find.
I would second that
By: Boris : April 9th, 2018-16:26
The 5165 would fit a a 16cm wrist much better than the 5167. Start searching...
Depends on your awesome level
By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : April 9th, 2018-16:56
If you are super awesome, then the calatrava. If you have a moderate level of awesome, then the aquanaut.
Depends on when, how and why you wear your timepiece..,.
By: Langeholic : April 9th, 2018-17:46
Iām making a big assumption that this will be your main and only timepiece, if so ask yourself when will you wear it? If you plan to wear it often to work with a suit and you generally dress smart during evenings and weekends, then the 5120 is a good choi...
Love the 5120...
By: mdg : April 9th, 2018-18:49
...for two reasons. Hobnail bezel has always been a favorite. And 240 movement. Well, also because of its reasonable size. The only drawback, if there is one, is there is no movement on the dial...no sub seconds hand. And don't laugh...hopefully you will ...
5120 is a ballers watch
By: xxn : April 9th, 2018-22:17
Some of the most iconic watches RO, reverso, many PP have no sweeping second hands
Subjective choices are not objective
By: ingo5711 : April 9th, 2018-22:38
Choices, and questions for choices (5120 vs 5167), should always be made according to the heart and emotions, and according to the facts that are relevant for the person who has to make the choice. To chose between two options, two watches, is a highly su...
As a fellow 30 - something yo
By: @WatchesandWristshots : April 11th, 2018-18:16
I would suggest you choose the piece that you would enjoy most! As in most of the time. There will be so much more time ahead to go for the safe keepers. But at least you can hunt them down quietly with a beautiful watch around your wrist already. Which o...
